Ch BonniDune's Blue Genes CGC HIC is now back home in Indiana. "Levi" is a beautiful blue boy from
my 2004 Duncan X Hazie litter. His beloved owner, Syl Truitt, sent him home because she has some
health issues that preclude her from being able to keep up with this little blue ball of fire.
While I am quite sad that Syl is not feeling well, I am absolutely thrilled to have Levi back home.

I have a lot of news since it's been so long since I've updated. First, my sad news. My beloved Darcy
passed away. She was not been feeling well the day I took my dogs to the kennel for boarding while
I was at the National. So, I took Darcy to the vet instead of the kennel and she
died sometime during the night of October 18, 2008. The necropsy failed to identify a cause of death.
She is greatly missed.

Ch BonniDune's Pipe Down Mr McBeeVee TD was killed by a motorcycle on April 24th. "Do" had already
earned his Championship and a tracking title. He was training in obedience and had just started on
sheep. He was a dog who was game for anything.... That was a very sad day
for me and for Do's co-owner, Carol Clark.

Gingerbell Quattro X Quattro (Duncan X Sophie) won Best of Breed at the Italian Border Collie Club Annual Show under respected Breeder-Judge Pat
Wilkinson of Altricia Border Collies. "Vale" is scheduled to make her debut in Obedience and Agility soon, so she is a versatile
girl. Congratulations, Vale, Elisabetta & Michela!

three-point major on Sunday. He finished with 16 points and 3 majors. Congratulations, Syl and Levi!

December 16, 2007

My computer crashed in early October and I was unable to update my website for a few months. But life went on, and now I have a ton of pages that
need to be updated!

On the puppy front, there is still one male puppy available from the LittleMan X Myst litter. Hopefully I will find a home for him
soon, as he is a great little pup. I am co-owning a girl from that litter with Terry Kenney. Click here to
see more about her.

Cameo and her little girl both went home to Deb Degidio in Minnesota, and the Coh X Cameo boy stayed
here at BonniDune. Click here to learn more about him.

"Do" (Stewart X Jane) and "Stewart" both finished their championships the same weekend in December. "Do" was in Arkansas and
"Stewart" was in Minnesota. Congratulations, Carol and Do! And, thank you to Deb Degidio for finishing Stewart!

There are a few more titles that were earned while my computer was down, but I will have to sort through a bunch of emails before
I can list them!

October 2, 2007

This was quite a busy weekend for me, and I have a lot to report. First, the Cap X Paige puppies all went to their new homes, and the last

Also on the puppy front, on Friday, September 28th, the LittleMan X Myst puppies arrived. They are all black & white, 3 boys and 2 girls.

Four of Sheena's puppies have now left to go to their new homes. One boy is still available. To see pictures, click
here.

August 29, 2007

I took a few candid pictures of the puppies and put them up on their pages. The pups had been playing all day,
so they are a bit dirty (what can I say, they're puppies - that happens)!

August 28, 2007

Blitz (Joey X Darcy) finished his open FAST title (OF) with a first place, and then got his first Excellent FAST leg with a first place

To see, click here or go to "Meet the Dogs" and then click on "Missed Friends".

August 27, 2007

August 12, 2007

I've added pictures to my "Extended Family" page. I updated "Ancestors" to reflect some of the new bloodlines that I've brought in.
I also added some new pictures of Duncan kids. Babies sired by BonniDune stud dogs are listed under "descendants" on the "Extended
Family" page if they were not bred by me. I'm just as proud of them as I am of BonniDune puppies!

Click here or go to "Meet the Dogs" and then click on "Extended Family".

August 7, 2007

Blitz (Joey X Darcy) took winners dog on Friday at Marshall for one more breed point, up to 11 now!
Saturday he did an agility trial where he won the FAST class. He placed 4th in Excellent Standard and
just missed out on first place in the JWW class by one knocked bar. Sunday he got his first Rally

Risky is now working in Open and got his first CDX leg this weekend. Congratulations, Kolter & Risky!

On the home front, the puppies are doing well. Sheena’s have their eyes open and are starting to climb out of the whelping box.
Paige’s are busy eating, sleeping and still working
hard to catch up with their ½ sibling/cousins in size!

Myst has been bred to LittleMan and Cameo is going to be bred to Coh this weekend.
We’ll know in about 4 weeks if they are pregnant.
Thank goodness for co-owners Debbie Willoughby and Deb Degidio - I sure couldn’t do this alone.
Some people have asked me why I’m planning to have 4 litters in one year. The answer to that is simple –
one of these litters was planned for last year and the other for the year before that!
Nature doesn’t always pay attention to even the best laid plans.

July 20, 2007

Cap and Paige's puppies are here! Paige had five big, healthy babies this morning. Four girls and a boy. All are black and white.
Click here to see pictures.

July 14, 2007

I keep going back-and-forth whether or not one of Sheena's boys is a tri. Sometimes when I look it appears that he has brown under his tail, but
other times I think maybe it's just the light playing tricks. Sigh. Time will tell. Meanwhile, all five pups have gained weight and are
doing well.

July 12, 2007

Cap and Sheena's puppies have arrived! Sheena had five healthy babies this morning - 2 girls and 3 boys. Click here to see pictures.

July 1, 2007

June 23, 2007

Just got some great news about Bud (Bandit X Darcy). First of all, he received his OFA results. Hips Excellent, Elbows Normal. Second, he has

Lace (Stewart X Jane) won Winners Bitch and Best of Winners in Gridley, California last Thursday. She now has 9 points, including both majors.
Congratulations, Lace & Karen!

June 14, 2007

I just got home from the vet's office where it was confirmed that Paige (DC BonniDune Front Paige News) & Sheena (BonniDune The Future
Is Now) are pregnant. The proud papa of both litters is Cap Of Killiebrae!

Paige is visiting BonniDune from her home in California just to have puppies. I had planned her litter to be Cap's first in the
United States, and was hoping for a Sheena litter later. Sheena, however, had a different opinion on the matter!

While waiting for Paige to come into season, Sheena decided to beat her 1/2 sister to the punch. I figured that breeding Sheena
was the best way to ensure that Paige would come into season. It worked - Paige was ready to breed the following week.

Although a bit apprehensive about having two litters at the same time, I'm very excited about both. Welcome to America, Cap!

June 10, 2007

Lace (Stewart X Jane) won Winners Bitch, Best of Winners and Best Opposite Sex today in Washington for her second major. She now has 8 points and

May 30, 2007

An update on the Duncan X Sophie puppies. The two females are darkening as they get older, so now it appears that they are chocolate, not
lilac. Also, sadly, one of the male puppies had problems from inhaling birth fluids and did not survive. My heartfelt sympathy goes to all
at Gingerbell Border Collies who tried hard to save this baby.

May 21, 2007

Melody earned her ASCA Started duck title this weekend with two 2nd places. Her second run went especially well, and she was just barely

May 5, 2007

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but I was looking at the AKC website today and discovered that wunderkind Blitz (Joey X Darcy)
now has his RA title. Congratulations, Blitz & Trisha!

Some sad news, DC WTCh HTCh Kennelley's Bandit was given rest earlier this week. My sincere sympathy goes out to Terry Kenney, who
has lost his best friend and helpmate. Thank you, Terry, for letting me breed Darcy to Bandit back in 2003.
He lives on through his puppies, including the lovely Paige. If everything goes as planned, Paige will bring a new Bandit
grandpup with her when she comes home.

April 11, 2007

Duncan is going to be a daddy again, and this time his puppies will be born in Italy! Check out the upcoming litter at Gingerbell
Border Collies here. (You have to scroll down the page a little bit.)

April 9, 2007

Cap (ISDS 266571) just crossed the pond and is now in residence at BonniDune! Cap was the 2007 Westmorland League Nursery Champion

March 4, 2007

I am very thrilled to announce that BonniDune now has its first home-bred Dual Champion, DC BonniDune Front Paige News HXAsd AOM.

“Paige” finished her Herding Championship Saturday, March 3, 2007, at the Border Collie Club of Greater Los Angeles’s
herding trial. It is fitting that Paige finish this accomplishment at this trial, since she won Winners Bitch and a
5-point major at the club’s conformation show last May. Paige also won an Award of Merit at the BCCofGLA’s specialty
in May of 2005 from the Herding Titled Bitch class.

In addition to her outstanding specialty wins, Paige won a Herding Group 2 her first weekend as a special. In the herding
venue she is a multiple High in Trial winner, and finished her Herding Championship with 3 majors.

Paige is a third-generation Dual Champion. Her paternal granddam, DC Darkwind Stormin Kennelly, was the first Border Collie to
be awarded the Dual Champion title. Her sire, DC Kenelly’s Bandit, is also a Dual Champion, as is her maternal grandsire,
my own DC Majestic Outlander CDX.

To say that I am proud is quite an understatement. Congratulations to Paige and her owner/trainer/handler, Terry Kenney!

I've been working on the website some, but it is currently still in transition. Ch Wildblue Silver Haze now has a page in the "Close
Friends" section. Ch Wildair Back In Black's page has also been moved to that area, since she is now back with her breeder/owner, Bonnie Harris.

The Stewart X Jane puppies that BonniDune co-owns, Do and Lace, have new pages available from "Meet the Dogs". Unfortunately neither page has
pictures yet, but that should be remedied soon.

BonniDune will be adding a new dog to the family in the next month or two. I am very excited about this new addition, and will post details when he
arrives.

February 19, 2007

At the tender age of 6 months and 1 week, BonniDune's Pipe Down Mr McBeevee (Stewart X Jane) went to his first shows at the Rocky Mountain Cluster.
The first day "Do" went Reserve and also won Best Puppy in Breed. On Saturday, at his second show,
Do won Winners Dog and Best of Winners for a 4-point major. Do ended the Cluster with Winners Dog again, bringing
home a total of 6 points. Congratulations, Do and Carol!

While in Colorado, Do also got hooked up to a sled with some Siberian Husky pals and went mushing. He did great,
showing again that he's more than willing to "Do" whatever Carol asks!

February 16, 2007

Blitz (Joey X Darcy) and Trisha are at it again. Blitz has now earned his AX title and his NF title. NF is the first level in the new AKC
"Agility Fast" program and it's no surprise that Blitz is doing well in any competition with the word "Fast" in it!. Congratulations, Blitz and Trisha!
Additionally, Blitz's AX title qualifies Joey to be a BCSA ROMX sire. Congratulations, Joey & Joyce!

Cameo (Duncan X Hazie) had her ultrasound and she is not pregnant. Needless to say we are all very disappointed.

January 18, 2007

Cameo (Duncan X Hazie) has been bred to BIS Aust/Fin/Est/Am Ch Nahrof The Cohort TD HSAs AOM AOE. She'll go for an ultrasound in about
4 weeks to see if puppies are on the way.

More good news for Blitz - his hips scored OFA Good. Congratulations, Trisha & Blitz.

pawprints and is currently busy training in both obedience and herding.

October 29, 2006

The BCSA offered Veteran Sweeps this year for the first time and Duncan won Best Veteran in Sweeps! He was totally out of coat, but once he
started gaiting around that ring, it didn't matter. At 9 1/2 years old, he still covers ground effortlessly. Thank you to Ronni DeLay,
Duncan's breeder, for her outstanding handling of Duncan in the breed ring.

Stewart competed in the Open Dog class at the National and won 4th place on Saturday and 3rd place on Sunday. Thanks again to Ronni for
handling my boy.
